First IMRA Race in 5 months.
We had three involved. Catherine Rebecca, Dave, and our Louth friends, Ronan and Darren on duty, and our Bettystown friend, Keelin, racing.

As usual, the 22km Wicklow Half was full of hardcore mountain runners, and all flat out from start to finish, with positions chopping and changing, depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the runners.

A tough and exilerating race from start to finish.

And I'd say there'll be a good few DNF'S.
I witnessed two bad injuries.

Results not out yet, but well done all 💪

I expect we'll have a couple of top 2 Age Category positions, if not better, and maybe 1 top 3.

Great IMRA Event.
